A lot of issues with the fit. Just remember DeAndre, who is a very similar type of player, last season.
1. Rebounding: Despite the whining about Powell and Kleber rebounding stats, rebounding is not a problem for Dallas. Rebounding didn't get that much worse after DAJ left. Despite his great individual stats, team stats might not really be (much) better.
2. Offense: As he doesn't shoot, Drummond would only fit if he would be willing to roll hard after the PnR (Powell does). If not, he would clog the paint for Luka drives as did DeAndre last season. Despite his individual numbers, our offense might be worse.
3. Defense: Rim protection is not our problem. Guy next to KP would need to be able to switch on the perimeter. (Powell can to a decent extent). Again . Drummond might not make our defense better.
It could work, but there are a lot of ifs. Do you really want to pay max money for this ifs?
